Tuesday's Election Results Mixed

Last nights elections proved to be less than huge wins for either party. Democrats have reason to be heartened by maintaining their control of the Governorships in Virginia and New Jersey as well as defeating Arnies pet referendums in Cal-i--for-n-ia. On the other hand, Republicans can celebrate the lopsided victory to ban gay marriage in Texas in addition to a crushing defeat on issues 2-5 in Ohio and holding the New York mayorship.

Arguably the most significant of either parties victories was the trouncing of the Ohio election reform initiatives. These were Soros funded boondoggles that if passed could have conceivably turned Ohio into a "blue" state in one fell swoop.

Issue 2: 999K; 1738K; 36-64 (Issue 2 Fails) The Pro “Voter Fraud” Amendment. This amendment will make it possible for voting to go on for days and days (over a month) and no one is required to vote in their own precinct or prove their identity.

Issue 3: 889K; 1826K; 33-67 (Issue 3 Fails)The Pro “Campaign Corruption” Amendment. This lets unions, factions, splinter groups, pac-like groups, and sects funnel huge amounts of money into campaigns, but restricts individual voters like YOU.

Issue 4: 813K; 1899K; 30-70 (Issue 4 Fails)The Anti “Home Districts” Amendment. Instead of voting districts that are near your home, this amendment will let politicians design voting districts that could stretch across the entire state.

Issue 5: 794K; 1897K; 29-71 (Issue 5 Fails)The Pro “Voter Confusion/Florida Copycat” Amendment. This amendment will put our elections in the hands of appointed political cronies instead of accountable, elected officials. We don't want Washington activists counting “hanging and pregnant chads" in Ohio and telling us what to do.

It would have been nice to pick up a governors seat but it really was never in the cards. Be happy that the astute voters of Ohio prevented the moonbats from hijacking the process and thereby stacking the deck against Republicans for years to come.
